Experience Points

Official reference · XPHB · 2024

As they overcome challenges and complete adventures, characters earn Experience Points (XP) which are awarded by the Dungeon Master. When a character's XP total crosses certain thresholds, the character's level increases. The Dungeon Master's Guide provides guidance on awarding XP.
